It also clears when you type a space or any punctuation after it.  I
could believe that it is an algorithm problem.  Consider a single
quoted string that ends in "hasn".  As soon as it sees the apostrophe,
it flags it, but as soon as it sees a space, it back checks.
To fix the problem, one would have to special case apostrophes.

Odd, since when I do it, it flags it.  Although I'm running 2.2.9, I
doubt this has changed.
